They can be admired on the archaeological site of the Teseum, one of the most inspiring sites in the Benelux countries. Here you will be able to see with your own eyes that Tongeren was the first town in Belgium. Three metres below ground, age-old stones tell the story of the town, its inhabitants and the church.
